 CALS portal CALS portalCALS portal  provide services for data collection / archiving  develop and coordinate library’s spatial data services, particularly the Cornell University Geospatial Information Repository (CUGIR)  develop delivery systems for metadata and content using geospatial data applications GIS / Research Data Librarians Projects

Cornell University Geospatial Information Repository (CUGIR) GIS / Research Data Librarians Online geospatial data and metadata repository for New York State, coordinate with NYS GIS Clearinghouse Emphasis on natural features relevant to agriculture, ecology, natural resources, human-environment interactions Projects: GIS Librarian

Projects: Research Data Librarian Projects: Research Data Librarian  Upper Susquehanna River Basin project GIS / Research Data Librarians Document data sets (Ecological Metadata Language) Deposit and preserve data sets in Cornell’s digital repository, DSpace Create a public research portal, with background information, research plans, results, and data Objective: Provide a way for the public to learn about the scientific goals and results of the project. Approach:
